The four big US banks – Bank
of America (BofA), Citi, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase – have
posted mixed results from retail banking income for the six months
to the end of June.

At BofA, retail net income
was boosted by strong earnings from the cards division: Global Card
Services net income more than doubled over a year ago to $3.77bn.
Excluding that, BofA’s net income from its retail banking-focused
Deposit division slumped 43% year-on-year to $785m.
